When a handful of Philly data scientists and technologists got together to revive Data Jawn — the Philly-centric data analytics event series last held in 2015 — people’s hype rubbed off on the organizing team.

“Philly seems ripe for a conference like this,” said Joey Davidson, coorganizer of Data Jawn alongside data scientists from a handful of Philly companies like CompassRed, Stitch, Fishtown Analytics and others. After partnering with Meetup group Data Phillyin a push to find a diverse lineup of participants, organizers announced the lineup of speakers, with representation from large pharma and telecommunication companies as well as small startups and nonprofits.

Here’s who will take the mic on June 13 at the Science History Institute:

Elea McDonnell, Feit Assistant Professor of Marketing at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business

We asked Davidson what the search process taught the team about the local data science community:

“There’s a genuine passion for data in Philly,” the Technical.ly Delawarealum said. “We had more than 30 quality submissions to comb through before we arrived at our final list. We also found a diverse lineup of people wanting to speak, and Dan and I have been honored to assemble this varied group of people from a bunch of backgrounds and unique perspectives.”
